1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The pairwise maximum entropy model (MEM) for resting state functional MRI (rsfMRI) has been used to generate energy landscape of brain states and to explore nonlinear brain state dynamics. Researches using MEM, however, has mostly been restricted to fixed-effect group-level analyses, using concatenated time series across individuals, due to the need for large samples in the parameter estimation of MEM. To mitigate the small sample problem in analyzing energy landscapes for individuals, we propose a Bayesian estimation of individual MEM using variational Bayes approximation (BMEM). We evaluated the performances of BMEM with respect to sample sizes and prior information using simulation. BMEM showed advantages over conventional maximum likelihood estimation in reliably estimating model parameters for individuals with small sample data, particularly utilizing the empirical priors derived from group data. We then analyzed individual rsfMRI of the Human Connectome Project to show the usefulness of MEM in differentiating individuals and in exploring neural correlates for human behavior. MEM and its energy landscape properties showed high subject specificity comparable to that of functional connectivity. Canonical correlation analysis identified canonical variables for MEM highly associated with cognitive scores. Inter-individual variations of cognitive scores were also reflected in energy landscape properties such as energies, occupation times, and basin sizes at local minima. We conclude that BMEM provides an efficient method to characterize dynamic properties of individuals using energy landscape analysis of individual brain states.
